You can install LOOP through <%=link("LuaRocks")%> using the following command.
luarocks install loop
LOOP is provided as free software under the terms of the <%=link("MitLicense")%>, which are the same terms of the <%=link("LuaLicense")%>. You can download the LOOP package from the following link. See below for installation instructions.
To make the LOOP packages available for any Lua application you may simply execute the application in the lua
directory of the LOOP package.
Therefore, to give it a try, just execute the Lua stand-alone interpreter in the lua
directory located in the place where you unpacked LOOP.
However, to properly install LOOP in your environment you must copy the contents of this lua
directory to the Lua package directory, which is defined by the luaconf.h
file during the compilation of Lua. The default values for this directory are listed below:
/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/
/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/
You can also define the directories Lua searches for packages by setting the <%=link("LuaManual.LuaPath", "LUA_PATH
")%>.
